The government is pursuing age verification for online porn. It's going to be complicated. Everyone agrees kids shouldn't be able to access porn online. Stopping them is much harder than you might think.
I saw that they weren’t going to go ahead last year, but now apparently there will be a pilot.
It seems they’ve scapegoated one thing to look busy on dealing with high rates of DV. I’d love to see more resources given to housing* and family violence services, better sex ed around consent, and for police to consistently act on reports rather than brushing them off.
*There are calls to address housing for those escaping their relationships but whether that materialises is another matter. And there is a Leaving Violence grant, however it depends on being able to get into stable housing rather than just end up crashing in a hotel or transitional housing for as long as the money lasts.
Are they putting any extra money into sex education or are we still pretending access to hardcore pornography is the only issue?

It’s all part of the show.
They have to do something to seem competent in response to the stabbings.
